One of the biggest hurdles for J was building his conversation skills and expressive speech. He rarely initiated conversations, which is common in children with hyperlexia. However, he has made huge improvements in this area over the past two years.

One way that we have been helping him with these skills is by using speech apps to work on expressive language and conversation skills.

Simple lessons that explain how conversations work, including identifying a talking partner and identifying conversation goals of oneself and the talking partner. It is really helpful for explaining the hidden rules of conversation.

This app is a must have for kids with hyperlexia or autism who are struggling with their expressive speech. It focuses on building expressive speech and vocabulary by examining the function, parts, categories, and more of different items.
